September 30th marks the one year anniversary of when this great adventure for me actually started - when the ship sailed out of Belfast Boatyard.

There were a lot of festivities on Board the ship, on this Sea Day. They started at 10 am with a trivia contest with our COO Mike & CEO Kathy, on Ship and Resident Facts, over the last year. They were playing against each other and Kathy's memory was by far better and luckier in her guesses, than Mike. Then their was a mural painting and numerous cocktail parties of various groups, all coming together at Dinner time, for one giant seating of 350 Residents in the Thistle Restaurant  for a special gala dinner, complete with cake. This was then followed by a fantastic pool party, on the upper deck, with the music again by DJ Shanti. The Residents and CREW all got to party, dance and drink together in a fantastic harmony until Midnight and the party even continued much later for some into the wee hours of morning! It was a FUN day with a great group of people, I so wish you could all experience!

Papeete (with a population of 26,000) is the bustling capital of French Polynesia and the cultural heart of the island of Tahiti . Papeete is directly across the lagoon from Moorea and several ferries ( just a 35 minute ride) connect the islands & the only airport is in Papeete. The city is known for its mural arts, Polynesian culture and pearl trade.

Our Odyssey Crew is so talented and fun loving! They put together this hysterical video spoofing all the crazy things they observed this year catering to us Residents, in a special presentation of our 2026 Horoscopes! Watch all the way through to the bloopers at the end and hopefully you will see why we love them so much!
